What better way to celebrate your 6th and 13th birthdays but on board a cruise ship. Both C and E, before opening their presents, asked to go out for tea and be able to choose anything they wanted, have cake and then go to the movies. They looked a little surprised when I said "sure, we'll do all of those things on Friday afternoon."
We boarded our plane to Brisbane Thursday morning, then sat on the tarmac for 30 minutes because we hadn't got clearance from Brisbane to leave. We finally got up in the air and 30 minutes out of Brisbane were told that the plane would be turning around to Sydney to land there, Gold Coast wasn't an option as it was already full of diverted planes. Plane turned around and everyone understandably was rather stressed.
We then were told that we'd do loops in the air and hope that it cleared before fuel became low. We did several loops between Toowoomba and Warwick, before hearing we had clearance to land, but we were #18 in the queue, so did a couple more smaller loops before landing.

As we came in I saw the Sun Princess entering the Brisbane River. It was obviously late due to the fog also. We weren't allowed to board until after 3pm and didn't leave Brisbane until 8pm.
